Yes, I know, I've been gone. Been in the process of buying a house, which is somehow distracting. :)
Anyway, so the comics came last week and I've read about half of them. And I really think I'm going to switch just about everything to trades (other than Secret Six and possibly Captain America). This is, in part, a space issue. The whole packing thing? Has made it oh-so-clear that trades are just easier to deal with. Easier to organize, easier to find when you want them. And the 15 longboxes and handful of shortboxes that are going into the attic? Realistically, I know I won't be going through them often. Trades are the way to go from now on.
As for the action figures? Selective (and possibly seasonal) displays. You know, Green Lantern characters for Christmas, Batman and company for Halloween, that sort of thing. :) But there's just not room for all of them. Anywhere. I still love 'em, but will have to love them not all at the same time.
Now, going to go read my new Justice League International Volume Two. It's a lot of fun to read apart from so much of the text being a bit illegible--I don't know whether that's a poor print job or just the font used back then, but my old eyes don't much like it.

Ah, yes -- the comics-to-trade thing. I did that a couple of years ago. I haven't been sorry. It's SO much easier to pull a trade book off the shelf than to go rifling through a longbox.
